You’re not looking for someone to push dirt around. You need your home genuinely clean so you can stop thinking about it.
That’s what happens when you work with cleaners who’ve been doing this for over a decade. Your kitchen counters don’t just look clean—they are clean. Your bathrooms don’t smell like harsh chemicals because we don’t use them. And you’re not spending your Saturday scrubbing baseboards or wondering if you missed something.
The difference shows up in how your home feels when you walk through the door. No lingering dust. No streaky windows. No wondering if it was worth it. Just a clean space that lets you focus on your family, your work, or whatever else you’d rather be doing than cleaning.
Indoor air quality matters more than most people realize. Studies show indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and a lot of that comes from the products used to clean your home. When you choose non-toxic cleaning, you’re not just getting a clean house—you’re protecting the people and pets who live there.
We’ve been serving Brickbottom and the greater Somerville area since day one. We’re not a franchise with rotating crews. We’re a family-run business, and the people who clean your home actually care about the results.
Over ten years in this business means we’ve seen it all—move-out cleanings where the security deposit is on the line, deep cleans after renovations, recurring maid services for busy families who just need help staying on top of things. Brickbottom’s mix of young professionals, families, and students means we work with people who value their time and want a cleaner they can rely on.
You’ll find us licensed and insured, and you’ll hear from customers who say we “don’t miss a single thing.” That’s not marketing talk—that’s what happens when you hire people who take the work seriously.
It starts with a free estimate. You tell us what you need—whether that’s a one-time deep cleaning, a move-in or move-out cleaning, or recurring maid services—and we give you a clear price. No hidden fees.
When we show up, we bring our own eco-friendly products and equipment. You don’t need to supply anything unless you have specific preferences. Our team works through your home systematically: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, floors, windows if that’s part of the plan. We follow a deep cleaning checklist that covers the details most people don’t think about—baseboards, light switches, cabinet fronts, window sills.
We’re not rushing to the next job. We’re making sure your home is actually clean before we leave. That means double-checking high-touch areas, ensuring floors are spotless, and leaving your space ready to live in.
After the job, you’ll see the difference immediately. If something’s not right, you tell us and we handle it. But most of the time, you’re just relieved you don’t have to think about cleaning for a while.
Ready to get started?
You can book us for a one-time deep cleaning when your home needs a reset, or set up recurring maid services—weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on what makes sense for your household. Both options use the same eco-friendly products and the same attention to detail.
Move-in and move-out cleaning is a big part of what we do in Brickbottom. With the area’s high tenant turnover—especially late August and early September when students and young professionals are moving—getting your security deposit back often depends on how clean you leave the place. We know what landlords look for, and we make sure your old apartment passes inspection.
We also handle window cleaning and gutter cleaning, which matters more than you’d think in a neighborhood with older buildings and tight row houses. Clean gutters prevent water damage. Clean windows actually let light in. These aren’t luxury services—they’re maintenance that protects your property.
Every service is backed by cleaning service insurance, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong. And because we’re local to Brickbottom and Somerville, we’re easy to reach and easy to reschedule with when life gets in the way.
We use non-toxic, plant-based cleaning products that don’t contain ammonia, chlorine, phthalates, or other harsh chemicals. These aren’t just “green” for the sake of marketing—they work.
The difference is in the ingredients. Instead of relying on toxic fumes to cut through grease and grime, eco-friendly products use natural enzymes, citrus extracts, and biodegradable surfactants. They break down dirt and bacteria without leaving behind chemical residues that can irritate skin, trigger allergies, or affect indoor air quality.
For families with young children or pets, this matters. Kids crawl on floors. Pets lick their paws. You don’t want them ingesting or absorbing cleaning chemicals. And for anyone with asthma or sensitivities, traditional cleaners can make your own home feel unsafe. We’ve had clients tell us they can finally breathe easier after we switch them to eco-friendly products.
Effectiveness isn’t compromised. Your home will be just as clean—often cleaner—because we’re not masking dirt with artificial fragrance. You’ll notice the difference in how your home smells: fresh, not chemical.
Move-out cleaning costs depend on the size of your space and its condition, but most apartments in Brickbottom fall in the range of $150 to $400. Smaller studios and one-bedrooms are on the lower end. Larger units or places that need extra attention cost more.
We give you a free estimate upfront so there’s no confusion. The goal is to get your security deposit back, and that means cleaning to the standards outlined in your lease. Most landlords require kitchens and bathrooms to be spotless, floors cleaned, walls wiped down, and appliances scrubbed inside and out.
If your apartment is in rough shape—think heavy grease buildup, stained carpets, or neglected bathrooms—that takes more time and might push the price higher. But if you’ve been keeping up with basic cleaning and just need a professional finish, the cost stays reasonable.
Timing matters too. Late August and early September are peak moving season in Brickbottom and Somerville, so booking early helps. We’ve seen too many people lose part of their deposit because they waited until the last minute and couldn’t find a cleaner. Don’t let that be you.
Yes. We bring everything we need—eco-friendly cleaning products, microfiber cloths, mops, vacuums, scrub brushes, and any specialized tools for the job. You don’t need to supply anything unless you have specific products you want us to use.
This is standard for professional cleaning services, but it’s worth clarifying because some companies expect you to provide supplies, which defeats the purpose of hiring help. Our equipment is commercial-grade and maintained regularly, so it actually works. We’re not showing up with a worn-out vacuum that just moves dust around.
If you have preferences—maybe you love a certain brand of wood polish or you want us to avoid a specific scent—just let us know. We’re flexible. But our default is to use proven, non-toxic products that work on all the common surfaces in Brickbottom homes: hardwood floors, tile, laminate, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances.
One less thing for you to worry about. We show up ready to work, and you get your time back.
Regular cleaning covers the basics: vacuuming, mopping, wiping down surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, dusting visible areas. It’s maintenance. It keeps your home livable and prevents dirt from building up. Most people who book recurring maid services get this level of cleaning every week or two.
Deep cleaning goes further. We’re talking baseboards, window sills, inside cabinets, behind appliances, ceiling fans, light fixtures, grout lines, and all the spots that get ignored during regular cleaning. It’s more thorough and takes longer, which is why it costs more.
You’d book a deep cleaning when you’re moving in or out, when you’re preparing your home for guests, after a renovation, or when it’s just been too long since the last real clean. It’s a reset. After a deep clean, regular maintenance is easier because we’ve handled the buildup.
Our deep cleaning checklist is detailed. We don’t skip steps. If you’re in Brickbottom and dealing with an older apartment where dust and grime have settled into corners and crevices, a deep clean makes a noticeable difference. Your space feels lighter, smells fresher, and actually looks cared for.
It depends on your schedule and how quickly your home gets dirty. If you’re working full-time, raising kids, or just don’t want to spend your weekends cleaning, recurring maid services make sense. You set a schedule—weekly, biweekly, or monthly—and we handle it. Your home stays consistently clean without you lifting a finger.
One-time cleaning works if you need help for a specific reason: you’re hosting an event, you’re moving, or your home needs a deep reset but you’re fine maintaining it yourself after that. It’s also a good way to try us out before committing to a recurring schedule.
Most of our Brickbottom clients with families or demanding jobs choose recurring services. It’s one less thing to manage, and it prevents the stress of watching your home get messier while you’re too busy to do anything about it. The cost is predictable, the results are consistent, and you’re not scrambling to clean before guests come over.
If you’re on the fence, start with a one-time deep cleaning and see how long the results last. If you’re back to feeling overwhelmed within two weeks, recurring services are probably worth it.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured. That means if something breaks or gets damaged while we’re cleaning your home, our cleaning service insurance covers it. You’re not stuck paying out of pocket, and you’re not dealing with an unlicensed cleaner who disappears when there’s a problem.
Licensing shows we’re a legitimate business operating legally in Massachusetts. It’s not just a formality—it’s proof that we meet state requirements and take this work seriously. Insurance protects you and protects us. Accidents are rare, but they happen. A vase gets knocked over. A product damages a surface. Whatever it is, insurance handles it.
Hiring an uninsured cleaner might save you a few dollars upfront, but it’s a risk. If they damage something valuable or get injured in your home, you could be liable. That’s not worth it. With us, you’re working with a family-run business that’s been serving Brickbottom and Somerville for over a decade. We’re not going anywhere, and we stand behind our work.
You should always ask any cleaning company about licensing and insurance before you hire them. If they can’t give you a straight answer, that’s a red flag.
